This week we continue our conversation on the ethical and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines with Dr. Kevin Simon. We talk about the NBA’s statement on NOT prioritizing athletes for the vaccine and discuss episodes of financially privileged retirees jumping the line down in South Florida. A lot has changed since we first recorded this discussion, so I provide a brief update on the current vaccine distribution process (including the thousands of doses that are being wasted).
Through #EthicallySourced, a supplement to The Black Doctors Podcast, we will present information and resources that can proactively improve the care patients receive. We hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of patients that look like us. What do you think about this new series? How do you like the background music for the episode? Please feel free to rate and comment on the show.
